Joan MaxWell - click to read
We’re very sad to share the news that Joan Maxwell passed away peacefully on Thursday morning 15 January.
Joan was a longstanding and much-loved member of Chanonry Sailing Club, joining in the mid-1960s. She sailed and raced dinghies and cruisers, but above all she was passionate about encouraging young people into sailing and racing. Many sailors and coaches will have fond memories of Joan as a coach, mentor, and tireless supporter of youth sailing.
She had a remarkable memory and a deep interest in the history of the Club, and in later years she was rightly made an Honorary Member and led the club as Commodore in 1984 and 1985.
Joan influenced far more of us than we probably realised at the time — her enthusiasm, encouragement, and commitment made a lasting difference.
If you have photos or memories of her, please do share them by commenting on our Facebook post or sending to [email protected].
Our thoughts are with Joan’s family and all who knew her.
Funeral details will follow once available.

We’re thrilled to share that we’ve added 
two brand-new RS Quests to our fleet, replacing our pair of Wanderers! These fantastic boats are a great addition, perfect for both training and club activities, helping us offer even more opportunities to get out on the water. Come and give them a try!

​

A huge thank you to The Gordon and Ena Baxter Foundation, Highland Council, and our generous members for their support in making this possible.
